    Evenin',

    I highly doubt that I will win the competition with this entry, but it's the only correction detail I've done all month. This is my wife's Explorer and it's been outside since she bought it new in '01. It's only been detailed once by me, but that's before I knew what I was doing!

    1) Wash with CG Citrus Wash n' Gloss and ShMITT
    2) Dry with Cobra Guzzler
    3) Menzerna PO85RD w/ Flex and LC CSS White Pad on 3.5
    4) CG EZ Creme Glaze
    5) CG Jetseal 109

    6) 1Z Cockpit Premium on all interior plastic, outside rubber trim and plastic
    7) Poorboys Natural Look on tires
    8) Stoners on all glass
    9) Adam's Undercarriage Spray on wheel wells

    Enjoy!

    P1et you and FMINUS do the absolute best work on black. Man you are in the Toto territory with your work on black and that's about as good a compliment as you can get!!!

    Thanks Ketil, BIG compliment from yourself. Much appreciated!

    I seems that all of the last corrections have been black. Too much fun to work on as you can really see the different you're making. I am NOWHERE on FMINUS or MASTER TOTO level.

    Seriously, I blame the good result on the Flex. That machine (even on 3.5 as per your recommendation) did quite a bit. I did tape the car up like a whore on S&M night.

    The best thing about the Flex is that you don't have to have your pad flat on the paint if you're trying to get into the smaller places. Even with the 6.5" pads, the fact that the Flex doesn't JIGGLE like the PC means that even with a small piece of your pad touching the paint, you're still correction. LOVED THAT!!!

    Fantastic work as always you do on black. She looks sweet as heck....I need to do my wife's Explorer, it's in bad shape..Cats marks on the hood, dog jumping on the side of it...It is a mess...

    I remember that pic in a pic of your wife's Explorer with the reflection off the back of your truck that you posted on AG. I always thought that pick was so cool...I don't know if you remember that....But it was sweet pic.....
